No matter what the president claims tonight, remember that the Constitution governs this country, not one man.
Presidents come and go.
Our founding principles are what must endure.

We must not allow this administration to normalize corruption. Trump’s favorite move is flooding the zone so Americans never get a chance to pay close attention.
That is why we must keep calling out their grift, and why I will never stop doing exactly that.
The government just spent $1.5 billion of your money buying two immigration prisons from CoreCivic, including Otay Mesa in San Diego. The company walks away with over $1B.
Trump owns CoreCivic stock. He holds shares in the company his own administration just enriched.
Totally corrupt.
Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

Trump’s DOJ leadership shut the investigation down before they could act.
When the federal government refuses to enforce the law, the states have to do it themselves. 12 of them just did.
That would put two of America’s largest newsrooms under one family loyal to the President.
The Wall Street Journal reported that career antitrust lawyers at the Justice Department spent months investigating this deal and were leaning toward suing to stop it.
That means higher prices, fewer shows, and fewer jobs in an industry that has already lost too many.
It would also hand CNN to David Ellison, son of Trump ally Larry Ellison.
He already controls CBS News.
12 states just sued to block the $110 billion Paramount takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery. California is leading the charge.
One combined company would control nearly a third of all films in theaters and nearly a third of basic cable programming.
When you stop actively looking for a parasite, you do not make it disappear.
In sum, cutting back one of the country’s most important foodborne disease surveillance systems was really, really stupid.
apnews.com/article/cdc-...
The reason the CDC gave was funding. (See AP article below from last August).
Active surveillance gives health officials an early warning when outbreaks begin.
Last year, the CDC scaled back FoodNet, the country’s primary active surveillance network for foodborne illness, cutting the pathogens it routinely tracks from eight down to two.
Cyclospora was one of the six they dropped.
Right now cyclospora is causing an outbreak across more than 30 states. Health officials still have not identified the source.
Here is what you should know.
RFK Jr. says he’s making America healthy again.
But while a parasite spreads through the food supply, his administration scaled back the nation’s active surveillance for it.
This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.
Homan should stop pointing fingers and start deploying cameras.

The only thing missing is the will to deploy them.
Two families are grieving, and there is no video evidence of what happened. That is a failure of accountability, and it belongs to the people running these agencies.
And back in February, former Secretary Kristi Noem promised to rapidly acquire and deploy them.
It is now the middle of July. The money is there. The promise was made several months ago. Congressional staff report the cameras have already been purchased and the guidance has already been written.
Last year, the Big Ugly Bill gave ICE nearly $30 billion that could be used for body cameras, plus $10 billion more in flexible funding. ICE has had its own policy requiring body cameras during enforcement operations since January 2024.
Two men were shot and killed by ICE officers in the past week. One in Houston, one in Maine. ICE officers weren’t wearing body cameras.
When Tom Homan was asked why, he blamed Democrats.
Here are the facts.
Trump’s government committed up to $1.6 billion of your tax dollars to a tungsten mine in Kazakhstan. Then the sons showed up. Eric and Don Jr. tied to a 20% stake.
Lutnick’s sons also cashed in. The fathers negotiate, the government pays, the children profit. They are not even hiding it.
